The first video of the 'India That Is Bharat Explained' video series is now live!
We are looking at Section 1 Chapter 1 in this particular video.
Timestamps & subtitles will also be added shortly.
I hope you find it helpful.
Ram Ram 🙏

The US has a system known as accrual payments (Retired Pay Accrual) that does come from their DoD. The fund is listed on the Treasury's books but payouts are made by DFAS which is part of the DoD.
This is them paying into a fund *explicitly* for pensions.
I want the PM of my country to be a courteous & diplomatic man when dealing with foreign powers even if he actively hates them.
There are many important criticisms to make of Modiji but this isn't one. He should be praised for how well he acts even with brats like Trudeau.
1. Agnipath savings haven't even kicked in yet.
2. I used RE just so you won't whine that the RE last year was higher.
3. The GOI did inject funds for capital outlay despite pensions predicted to *grow* YoY.
4. Maybe spend 5 minutes Googling before faffing.
To anyone who is sceptical of why Agniveer is needed, run these two prompts by an AI model of your choice:
1. What % of India's Defence Budget is Pensions & Salaries?
2. If you remove this amount from the budget, what is the total defence spend as % of GDP?
The Indian Army gave Modi govt a severe-dressing down!! 🔥
The "Agniveer Recruitments" weakened the Indian Army to such an extent we can't even imagine.
> No one is ready to marry his daughter to Agniveers because of the elimination of pension scheme and short service span.
> The Indian govt is compromising India's security.
> Well trained Agniveers are being released when they are fully prepared to defend India.
> And the most significant concern is that, currently almost all of India's neighboring countries are hostile towards it. Yet we are being forced to discharge well-trained Agniveer soldiers who are highly skilled in combat operations within regions like Kashmir and the North East's valley areas. Then how are we to deal with these hostile nations?
The damage activists masquerading as journalists have done to the profession in mortifying.
You genuinely wonder if the people are on crack half the time or just incompetent mercenaries.
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
The Indian position should be a feeling of relief that we have someone who's amenable to working with us when it comes to trade & big ticket defence deals.
The whole "warra leader" slop is just unbearably irritating given that leftism is as useful as a torn condom.
Lula prop in Big 2026 as Indians.
At least the Bibi simps have something to point to in Herut/Gahal/Likud social & economic development of Israel.
What's Lula's accomplishments?
"Oh! I made my mediocre country stay mediocre but I give good speeches & revdimaxx. Now smd."
Hinduism in Kashmir was systematically genocided by a foreign religion (that Gazans also follow) & Hindus who want to rebuild it are dehumanised by labels like "Nazis" & "Settlers".
Some corner of West Asia gets b-mbed & it becomes the great moral crisis of our time.
> Goes to a country of 6 million people
> 3/4 of the country is ethnic Chinese
> It's a de facto one party state
> Has a wonderful time
> Says it was a cultural shock "as an Indian women"
Cultural shocks I got in Singapore as an Indian women:
> I could walk and cycle at 3am, all alone, didn’t turn back once to see if someone is following me
> clean AF toilets! Every single washroom I used was super clean, even the one in a random mall
> $2 fresh orange juice after cycling at 3am
> dress as short and as low, ppl flirt but no one makes it creepy
> I loved following every traffic rule. No jaywalking at all even when there is no car at red light
> The ppl are super friendly and helpful, no one gave me a single uncomfortable stare, even in very local markets
We don't live in a Democracy, we live in a Republic.
Republicanism only works if the leaders/elites steering the ship come from a societal elite that is not simply competent but also shares a deep commitment to the the country & a common culture to emanate from.
I write on Sharjeel Imam as a committed democrat who deserves a place in a radical democratic project of the future, one focused on the liberty and equality of all.

Literally all this does is make Israelis more right wing & more extreme in their COIN strategy.
This is a slow motion replay of what happened after the 2nd Intifada. It shifted the whole country rightward.
It's morbidly funny how everyone is now bracing for hostilities to restart between Iran & Israel-USA, not in some panicked dreaded sense but in an altogether familiar routine manner.

I really wish the mainstream media starts drawing maps.
Terms like Indian land, 6-7 kms into Indian-perceived LAC are highly confusing and throws people into panic.
The following discourse will run on our media after this: "China has captured Arunachal Pradesh".
The central thrust of Elon's Indian supporters was that India would retain control over the use of SpaceX in India.
We now know, definitively thanks to the Ukrainian misadventure of Elon & the USG, that this is a bold faced lie.
That "10 protestors vs 1 CEC supporter" video is just pure comedy gold.
He's the most vanilla right of centre dude you'll meet. Probably watches puppy videos in his free time. He annihilates all of them with the most simple questions I've ever heard asked in a debate.
I'm genuinely glad officials in this country see the war not as a sports match with teams to root for but as a world event to learn from.
Too much of our information space has been polluted by morons unable to check their biases from interfering in their assessments.
